Hello again!
So had some inspiration a few weeks back, and have set things in to motion. Time to put together an LP kit
Obligatory arrival and impressions pics:
I'm super duper happy with the Spalt top. Still got some flame, and a not-super-crazy spalt through it.
And likewise with the fretboard. I like the grain on it a whole lot.
I got a bit concerned by this at first, thought it looked a bit sloppy, but test-fitting the neck in there it fits together and covers it up properly.
Yup that's some excess glue alright. Haha
Happy with how it's looking so far though.
In terms of the other details, I haven't locked in pickups yet, but I'm keeping an eye out to see if I can snag a set of Ibanez or PRS pickups second hand, but haven't had a lot of luck in finding 4-conductor ones. Ideal scenario is finding a set of Kiesel Lithiums though. Most of the hardware will just be stock for now, but I'll be going 1V2T, 2-in-1 Series/Split/Parallel for the pickups (since I managed to find an On-On-On 4PDT toggle that used to be in my RGD), and a Series/Parallel for the in-between.
Also going to be trying a different finishing style out. I saw a thread elsewhere on the net a while back about someone finishing their guitar mixing some oil colours with Tru oil, so I'll be working with that idea. I was torn between going Green or Blue, so I'll be aiming for Blue, and if the mixing the Blue in leaves it leaning more towards Green, that'll still be within my goals.
